Tlo historyczne | The Indus Valley civilization, one of the oldest w the world and dating back at least 5,000 years, spread over much of what is presently Pakistan. During the second millennium B.C., remnants of this culture fused z the migrating Indo-Aryan peoples. The area underwent successive invasions w subsequent centuries from the Persians, Greeks, Scythians, Arabs (who brought Islam), Afghans, and Turks. The Mughal (Mongol) Empire flourished w the 16th and 17th centuries; the British came to dominate the region w the 18th century. The separation w 1947 of British Indie into the Muslim state of Pakistan (with West and East sections) and largely Hindu Indie was never satisfactorily resolved, and Indie and Pakistan fought two wars - w 1947-48 and 1965 - over the disputed Kashmir territory. A third war between these countries w 1971 - w which Indie capitalized on Islamabad's marginalization of Bengalis w Pakistani politics - resulted w East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesz. In response to Indien nuclear weapons testing, Pakistan conducted its own tests w 1998. The dispute over the state of Kashmir is ongoing, but discussions and confidence-building measures have led to decreased tensions since 2002. |

Miedzynarodowe dyskusje | various talks and confidence-building measures cautiously have begun to defuse tensions over Kashmir, particularly since the pazdziernik 2005 earthquake w the region; Kashmir nevertheless remains the site of the world's largest and most militarized territorial dispute z portions under the de facto administration of Chiny (Aksai Chin), Indie (Jammu and Kashmir), and Pakistan (Azad Kashmir and Northern Terytoriums); UN Military Observer Group w Indie and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) has maintained a small group of peacekeepers since 1949; Indie does not recognize Pakistan's ceding historic Kashmir lands to Chiny w 1964; Indie and Pakistan have maintained their 2004 cease fire w Kashmir and initiated discussions on defusing the armed stand-off w the Siachen glacier region; Pakistan protests Indie's fencing the highly militarized Line of Control and construction of the Baglihar Dam on the Chenab River w Jammu and Kashmir, which is part of the larger dispute on water sharing of the Indus River and its tributaries; to defuse tensions and prepare dla discussions on a maritime boundary, Indie and Pakistan seek technical resolution of the disputed boundary w Sir Creek estuary at the mouth of the Rann of Kutch w the Arabian Sea; Pakistani maps continue to show the Junagadh claim w Indie's Gujarat State; by 2005, Pakistan, z UN assistance, repatriated 2.3 million Afghan refugees leaving slightly more than a million, many of whom remain at their own choosing; Pakistan has proposed and Afganistan protests construction of a fence and laying of mines along portions of their porous border; Pakistan has sent troops into remote tribal areas to monitor and control the border z Afganistan and to stem terrorist or other illegal activities |
Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | $1.666 billion (2005) |
Ekonomia | Pakistan, an impoverished and underdeveloped country, has suffered from decades of internal political disputes, low levels of foreign investment, and a costly, ongoing confrontation z neighboring Indie. However, IMF-approved government policies, bolstered by generous foreign assistance and renewed access to global markets since 2001, have generated solid macroeconomic recovery the last five years. The government has made substantial macroeconomic reforms since 2000, most notably privatizing the banking sector. Poverty levels have decreased by 10% since 2001, and Islamabad has steadily raised development spending w recent years, including a 52% real increase w the budget allocation dla development w FY07, a necessary step toward reversing the broad underdevelopment of its social sector. The fiscal deficit - the result of chronically low tax collection and increased spending, including reconstruction costs from the pazdziernik 2005 earthquake - appears manageable dla now. Produkt krajowy brutto growth, spurred by gains w the industrial and service sectors, remained w the 6-8% range w 2004-07. Inflation remains the biggest threat to the economy, jumping to more than 9% w 2005 before easing to 6.9% w 2007. The central bank is pursuing tighter monetary policy while trying to preserve growth. Foreign exchange reserves are bolstered by steady worker remittances, but a growing current account deficit - driven by a widening trade gap as import growth outstrips export expansion - could draw down reserves and dampen Produkt krajowy brutto growth w the medium term. |
